Ok it's a wave power station, but almost the same.

The Med is indeed a calmer sea, it can still get quite tasty, 7 mtr seas etc. Shortlived though. In my wee village in Turkey there are around about three big Winter storms, quite exciting, hailstones the size of golf balls and crazy thunder n lightning but a magnitude less than North sea storms in the energy that hits the shore. Glad to see its going in though.Moxi wrote: ↑Thu Dec 08, 2022 3:32 pm IIRC something of this type was trialled in the UK but the mounting brackets where a weak point and kept fracturing? I think the other problem was finding low enough tidal ranges that didn't affect their operation.
Maybe they will fair better in Turkey as the waves are smaller and more consistent and the tidal range is less around the Med isnt it ?

It does doesn't it.
